SOTD : Saturday 5th June to Friday 11th June 2021.

How do you find the Baxter's balm? I got a couple going cheap Amazon and found it a little 'tacky' for maybe 4 hours or so after I'd applied it.
Just to throw my opinion out there while you’re asking I picked up the Baxter’s balm too..it’s okie but not the most moisturising I find less is more and use a very small amount as not to get that tacky feeling you describe..I do this with balms in general as I don’t like my face to feel overloaded with any kind of product

As others have said, less is more with this balm. First couple of applications felt like I'd put a mask on my face! But just a dab and properly massaging it in has worked much better.
 
Sat 12 SOTD
Cream SuperMax Menthol
Brush Yaqi 24mm Atlantis
Razor Gillette Slim N4
Blade SuperMax Blue Diamond 2nd
Post & Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Very nice lather from the cream. Lightly scented & cooling but very creamy and very slick...
Shave with razor paired with the blade at setting 9 for 3passes was very enjoyably smooth and comfortable. Managed a mostly bbs finish without any issues. Good aftershaves as usual.
